One of the first places that Samneric emerge as important characters is atop the mountain. The twins are there tending the fire overnight when the fighter planes fight high above the island. One of the planes is destroyed and the dead pilot parachutes down to land on top of the mountain. When Samneric see the body swaying in the wind, they think he is the beastie and they run down to tell the others about it.
The twins also serve to demonstrate the power Jack eventually gains when he is able to command his followers to grab Samneric and tie them up, which they do.
The twins play a prominent role once more when Ralph is trying to get away from Jack. They warn him and help him to escape.
